dreaming or just not knowing, at the beggining Brazil and Argentina were strong candidates and the only reason I can't spot thinking (not wanting) they could win it's because I'm not trusting the referees.most strong teams aren't doing very good so I'm rooting for the weak teams and expect that a new country reach the cup

As much as I want the US to go far, I think that Brazil and the Dutch will be the teams to beat when push comes to shove in the coming weeks. The unfinished business factor will be a huge motivator for the Netherlands since the last WC final and I believe that Robin and Robben will lead them to victory on their shoulders if need be if the occasion required.

Brazil will have the hometown crowd and as the Croatia game showed, some officiating going their way as well. But if they can get their form together they'll be deadly and be favorites to win it all imo.

France is going to be in the conversation as well. Looking great offensively.

The Netherlands because I live there but frankly I do not care about it all. To be honest I would have preferred them to lose in the qualification rounds ;p that way there would be less of a fuss about it.

Remember not to vote for the country you hope will win, but the one you think will win.I think Brazil have the highest chances, being already a strong team and hosting the event. But Germany made a really impressive debut.

The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series this year, the Detroit Lions will win the Super Bowl, and the United States will win the World Cup.
